I think the reason this isn't helpful is because it only catches one
failure case.

The other is where /usr/sbin/kldxref doesn't execute properly, because
it relies on features of an as-yet not installed shell, libc, kernel or
all three.  In such cases, I don't think we should consider the
installation of the kernel to have failed.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
